HENRY WARD BEECYER.

Another of Americas greatest and bright
est lights has answered the final roll call,
has journeyed through "the valley of the
shadow of death and joined his fathers in
the land Ut which we hear so much and
know 81 little. We are speaking of Henry
Ward Bcecher, the bold, Independent. in
defltigable and patriotic, whose name aud
deeds will go laundering down the ages,
written in letters of gold; in life the pre-
jrlicc of party feeling clung tenaciously to
his name ana the picture of The sturdy
patriarch was bedimmed with spots of
caluwny, yet on the roll of illustrious Am
orleans and generous patriots no name will
occupy more conspicuous place or shine
Hith more brilliancy than that of the great
pastor Of TIC Brooklyn church. His oyer
s1wering intellectual force, his deep emo
tional nature, his passionate enthusiasm
for liberty, aud his mastery of the thoughts
and hearts Of men have made for him n
place in American history which will find
their full appreciation now That he is no
more. The last half score years of his life
added nothing to the many chapters of
brilliant achievements, but rather detracted
thercfrom, tingny with bitterness the de-
cay Of mighty career But while his en-
emies heapcd bitter inucndocs upon his
head, friends to whom he had become en-
deaied by the sympathetic cord of pure,
honest friendship clung to him with ardent
devotion when the darkness of a great sor-
row settled over him. Henry Ward Beech
er was the eXpounder of no false dogma,
when in the pulpit he spoke not alone to
the members of his congregation, but to
the whole world and in his passing away
the church, and all America, loses a philan-
thropic friend and brother of which history
can supply no equal. A merciful God
made him not the victim of long physical
suferings; stricken with aponlexy OH
Thursday of last week, he closed his eyes
in death early on the following Tuesday
morning. He was buried on Thursday
morning, a large cortegc Of sorrowing rela-
tivcs and friends following the remains to
their last resting place.

OUR borough authorities should see that
proper sanitary measures are observed by

A Drunken Indians 1urderous Act
Near Salmon City.

Mrs. Horace Rood, residing upon
a ranch about. three-quarters of a
mile from Salmon City with her
family of four children, was shot
by a drunken Indian known as
Charley" The Recorder, in its
account Of the shooting, says the
Indian called at the house and
wanted Mrs. Rood to purchase a
pony, and becoming angry at her
refusal to to do so, broke window,
inserted gun through the aperture
and commenced shooting. The first
ball struck Mrs. Rood in the breast,
just over the heart, blowing its way
through the flesh about four inches
and lodged in the wall of the room.
The second shot passed over the
head of one of the children, going
through the foot-board of n bed and
n basket Of clothes and then struck
the wall. After the shooting the
Indian rode away and two of the
boys started to town for medical
assistance and related the circum-
stances of the shooting. The re-
port of the outrage created great
excitement, md party of men
went to the Irlian camp near
Foods house and took eight bucks,
seven squaws and a number of
papooses prisoners. Under threats
of Immediately hanging the whole
tribe, the Indians acknowledged
that "Charley' did the shooting
and had started for his home in
Custer county. a meeting of citi-
zens was held the same day when
resolutions were adopted pledging
the lives, means and energies of ali
to suppress the sale of liquor to
Indians. 1t is generally believed
that the Indians obtain liquor from
Cinnamon, and committee was
appointed To notify the celestials
that they would find it 10 their best
interests to keep Indians from theil
premises and abstain from selling
them intoxicating drinks. The res
olutions were signed by all the prom
inent men of Salmon City and any
one found selling or giving Liquor
to Indians will be prosecuted to th'
full extent of the law.
The wound of Mrs. Rood is no,
a dangerous one. Her husband wa:
not at home at the time. being en-
gagged in the butchering business "a
Dynamo and Leesburg. The agen
at the Lemhi reservation has beer
requested to keep the Indians or
the agency grounds as required b.
law. Indian police from the agenc,
have gone to Challis to capture
Charley" if possible.

improvements.

A very decided improvement has
been made by the running of a
ditch down Third street To carry
off the surplus water. At the Main
street crossing the ditch has been
boxed i'm and in case Of fire will
give an abundant supply of water
in that vicinity of town. Ed. Cow
ley, of the Golden Gate stable, has
also had the ditch in front of his
premises similarly arranged, and
the example set could be well fol.
lowed by all the property owners
on the street. Fire Marshal Me
Mann is experimenting the work
and is having it done in good style
The expense incidental to the work
is more than met by the improved
condition of the street.

Rev. Father Nattini performed the
ceremony in an impressive manner.
The eldest child was presented to

Collins, and was given the name OF

has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and i'm fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of
all Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, rs $1,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no enc
case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine rs the GERMAN

NOT SATISFACTORY.

The late grand jury, in session at
HALEY, in its report to the district
court at the conclusion Of its labors.
SAYS:
While the bills in case Of the various
county officials were ignored, we call the
attention Of the Court To the fact that the
evidence brought before us was not sutfi
cient to wari ant a conviction. but we are
satisfied there has been gross mismanage
ment and appropriation of the people
money.
The taxpayers of Alturas county
will hardly be satisfied with the
above statement. The natural in
quiry is, what manner Of testimony
was presented to the grand jury
that satisfied it that there had been
a ''grOss Encouragement and ap-
preparation of the peoples money
but which was not sufficient to
warrant conviction? If the evi.
dence was of such character as to
establish the fact that some one OF
more of the officials had been dere.
lict in their duties, surely the same
evidence would carry an equal
weight before Il trial jury. Unless
all the officials are implicated, the
report given out by the grand jury
is an injustice 10 those agains,
whom no charges were made. There
have been enough of rumors and
indirect charges made against Off
Gals, and it was the plain duty o
the late grand jury to make thor
ough investigation of these charges
and if satisfied that they were true
to have presented true bill agains
the guilty ones. The report, a
least by implication, charges al
the various county officials with ;
grave crime and it is due to the in
nocent that it be made more spe
cific by giving to the public tn
names of those implicated.

HIGH LICENSE N PROHIBITION.

Oregon is becoming somewhat
agitated over the question of pro-
hibition. In November next an
election will take place submitting
to the people an amendment to the
constitution adopting prohibition.
In the early colonial days of Ore
gon prohibition was the law, but it
failed then to answer the purpose.
Just as it would now should the
amendment be adopted. But there
is no great danger of prohibition
being successful. Earnest advO-
Gates of temperance have seen how
futile any such attempt to over
throw the liquor business proves to
he, and are therefore opposed to
law that would prove dead letter
in the very places were enforcement
would be most needed. High IL
cense has shown itself to be the
only regulator Of the liquor trade.
During the last few months several
states have adopted such measures
and already the laws show the wis
dom of the legislatures in passing
a restrictive license bill Prohibi-
ton means free rum, and high IL
cense drives out of existence the
dives and deadfalls where crimes
most thrive. Oregon needs high
license far more than prohibition.

Main Street

The sprinkling cart is kept con-
stantly at work, and manages to
keep down the dust on Main street.
1t would he great improvement
to the street to have the rocks and
general litter cleaned up and carted
away. Several parties have ex-
pressed willingness to keep the
street fronting their premises in
clearly condition, but unless all
unite i'm the matter there is but lit
tie use Of three or four making a
display of their enterprise, as it is
too scarce a commodity here to be
wasted.
